Hi there, I was speaking to my friend at work and he said I should buy i7-4790K because it's the best CPU I can buy for my motherboard which is socket 1150. The reason I was thinking about an upgrade is because I recently bought RTX 2080 CPU and installed it in my PC which is quite old and I wasn't getting the performance I was expecting in Battlefield 5.
I installed MSI afterburner and Rivatuner and in-game it's only using 50-60% GPU but all my CPU cores on my intel i5 4690k shows 100% in use. They often go down to 92% but then keep switching like this:
88% 92% 96% 100% 100% 100% 94% 100% 92% 100% 100% 92% 96% 100% 100% 100% 92% 100%
that's an example of what I see on my screen with the stats for all 4 cores during a battleifled 5 game.
So I believe that my CPU is bottlenecking. My CPU runs at base clocks speeds of 3.5ghz because I don't know how to overclock and I don't have the correct cooling on my CPU to overclock.
So do you think I should buy the i7-4790K and it will make a big difference?
EDIT: My full specs are
Thanks in advance.
